From the time of the Norman Conquest to the present day, the New Forest, or Royal Forest, along the south coast of England, has remained an almost mythical place. It was here that the Saxon and Norman kings liked to hunt. It was here that William Rufus, son of William the Conqueror, was mysteriously murdered. It was here that the family of the beautiful writer Jane Austen lived. The mighty oaks of New Forest were used to build ships for Admiral Nelson's fleet, and the fishermen of Christchurch and Leamington helped Sir Francis Drake fight the Spanish Armada. The Royal Forest is the perfect backdrop for a fascinating multi-generational story of six families, from aristocrats to peasants, whose destinies are closely intertwined. Everything is here: enmity and violence, betrayal and loyalty, magic and beauty... This is a novel for all those who have been to England and fallen in love with this country. This book is for all those who have yet to be there. For the first time in Russian!
